US EditionBilbao Fortifies for Onslaught of English Fans Ahead of Spurs-Man United Europa League Final
- Bilbao is making extensive preparations with heightened security and designated fan zones ahead of the Europa League showdown featuring Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United on Wednesday, May 21, 2025.
- The city is preparing for a substantial arrival of over 50,000 English supporters, despite limited local lodging options and concerns regarding the large number of fans and associated expenses.
- The city implemented a three-metre high fence around San Mamés Stadium, deployed over 3,000 police officers managing three security rings, and restricted access to ticket holders and residents.
- Fan zones outside the city offer entertainment and 60,000 litres of beer to divert supporters without tickets, while each fanbase received about 15,000 match tickets, with others allocated to sponsors or neutrals.
- These measures aim to ensure safety and order during the final, but Bilbao faces logistical challenges given its limited hotel capacity and the significant traveling fan numbers.
